Eduardo Camaving was able to intercept the ball as it was being played around the back by Celta Vigo. The midfielder then plays the ball to Kylian Mbappe, who from outside the box directs the ball towards the top corner. It was an excellent finish from the Frenchman as he opened the scoring for Real Madrid
Real Madrid has been having a very difficult time shifting gears during this peculiar half. Early opportunities for Celta Vigo were thwarted by Mbappe's skill. Jude Bellingham, who serves as more of a playmaker for Madrid against Celta Vigo and hasn't scored this season. It must be difficult, even for Bellingham, to blend in and maintain a spot on this Madrid team.
How have Real Madrid and Celta Vigo fared so far this season?
Claudio Giraldez, who gained promotion from the club's B squad the previous season, has led Celta to a solid start to the season. With 13 points, they are now ranked ninth in the table. During the international break, the 36-year-old earned a new three-year contract after making an impression.
Real Madrid's seasoned manager Carlo Ancelotti, on the other hand, will be leading the team in La Liga for the 200th time. Los Blancos, who are only three points below FC Barcelona in the standings, are keen to get closer. Real Madrid has only managed one victory from four away games this season, despite their strong position.
With ten points in their last five games, Celta has been dominant at home, but they will have a difficult time facing Madrid. Since their last triumph against the Spanish powerhouse more than ten years ago, the Sky Blues have failed to win their previous eight league games versus Real.
Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 2-0 going into this game, but there are still concerns about their consistency. Ancelotti's team will depend heavily on star players like Vinicius Junior, who has scored three goals this season, and Kylian Mbappe, who has five.
